You guys keep saying William and Harry are super close, that they are bff's but I'm not seeing it. Are Harry and William really that close?
They both have made references of not spending much time together. I read Harry never visited William at St. Andrews while Pippa and James made frequent visits.
At the time of William's engagement Harry talked about looking forward to getting to know Catherine, William's spouse of a decade! I don't think Pippa or James would ever say they hardly know William.
Don't use the Best Man argument because Edward was Andrew's Best Man. And those two act like strangers half the time. It seems to be royal tradition to ask your sibling to represent you.
When it's time for vacations William and Catherine go with the Middletons or by themselves. Harry vacations with the Yorks or with his friends.They even have a different crew of friends: Harry's friends- Tom Inskip, Jake Warren, Guy Pelly, Adam Bidwell and Arthur Landon. William's friends-James Meade, Tom Van Straubenzee, William Van Custom, Jecca Craig and Harry Aubrey-Flecther. The brothers also rarely attend each others birthday parties.
I'm sorry but in my eyes Elizabeth/Margaret, Peter/Zara, Beatrice/Eugenie and Catherine/Pippa/James are all MUCH closer than William/Harry.
Unless they magically become closer over the next 20 years, don't expect anything resembling a Vice King/right hand man. Just like I wouldn't expect Andrew or Edward to behave like Vice Kings either. They aren't that close to Charles.
